My views on Paul Pogba at Manchester United - that he was a flop, with an attitude that was indefensible - have been fairly robust over the past few seasons.
All the club's immediate rivals will be sorry to see him leave, because he was a one-man, dressing-room wrecking ball. A virus, as Jose Mourinho once called him.
Now United start a new season with another player who would rather be somewhere else but I will say without the slightest hesitation that they should go to great lengths to keep Cristiano Ronaldo.
